Gavin and I (Gavin gets the glory though since it was his idea) are launching a new blog/news feature called Flurry Friday at Soma where we will share ideas to give our community a consistent update on what we are seeing as cool or useful in the game development world .
The name Gavin picked is a variation of other feature Friday’s like Bungies. The Flurry part comes from my personal brand name John Flurry. I think it fits here too since that name for me is all about how creativity hits us.

This week we are furiously pushing toward beta for Wind Up Robots (WUR). Check out the episode and if you have any questions please leave them here or ask us on Twitter and Facebook.
Last here are a few things we would love from you:
1. Let us know what you would like to see in the Flurry Friday videos and updates.
2. Watch for feedback posts. The first one will be our TouchArcade Forum post where we will be asking for ideas for the WUR logo/button art. If you don’t know, Rovio chose red for their Angry Birds logo since there were few red icons on the store at the time. These are the kinds of things we are seeking from your feedaback.
3. On a side note our twin company Code-Monkeys is running a competition with gw-en.com for Bok Choy Boy Game. Post oyu high scores to win a t-shirt.
That is all for now. Have a great weekend!
I love the little Thor guy at the end.
JB – seems like you ought to say a little something about the name. Why Flurry Friday? cause it is a little obscure.
Joey, Thanks! YEs the beta will be available on PC. Make sure to check back. We will be sure to let you know the details regarding the beta program.
-Cheers, John
Wow, the game has come a LONG way since the last time I saw it. Awesome job!
Will the beta be available on PC? If so, I would love to get involved.
